se:café team table - The perfect meeting place for modern working environments

Today, the office as a working environment faces a decisive challenge: it has to keep up with the appeal and atmosphere of "third places" such as restaurants, cafés, libraries, gardens and squares. The solution for companies is to create spaces that are not only functional, but also invite people to linger and feel at ease. The se:café team table is such a place - a meeting point that brings the feeling of home into the office and at the same time optimally combines socialising and working.
James B. Hunt Jr. Library an der North Carolina

Cathedral of the Spirit

Libraries preserve the world’s knowledge. The first libraries were established more than 5000 years ago. Since then, they have evolved from places of peace and solitude to genuine community
spaces where people come together to learn, exchange ideas and work. They have become an integral part of “Great Good Places” – somewhere strangers can become friends. The Norwegian transdisciplinary architecture and design studio Snøhetta recently planned and realised the world’s largest library in Beijing. We spoke to Kjetil Trædal Thorsen about the evolution of libraries.

This blog post sheds light on how libraries are constantly reinventing themselves as ‘cathedrals of the mind’ and what role they play in today's flexible working and living environment.

Which office-café archetype suits which office? A decision-making basis for employers

The design of modern working environments requires more than just desks and meeting rooms. The trend towards hybrid forms of work has revolutionised the office, and hybrid communal spaces such as office cafés play a central role. But not every office café is the same - four different archetypes offer different focuses and uses. The challenge for employers is to find out which of these archetypes, or which combination of them, best suits the needs of their own company.

Third places: New workspaces for hybrid workers

Third places such as cafés, pubs and bookshops have always been meeting places for social interaction and team building. They provide space for conversation, creative exchange and relaxation away from the workplace. In recent years, these informal social spaces have evolved significantly as a result of changes in the world of work, driven by the pandemic and the introduction of hybrid working models. The lines between public and private life, between work and leisure, are increasingly blurred, and many workers now expect their office environments to reflect the flexibility and community spirit of these third places.

mr24 – The swivel chair for the most discerning of customers

Like every office swivel chair from Sedus, ‘mr. 24’ also has its own story to tell. Originally, it was designed as an absolute ‘specialist’ – as a model for the toughest of demands in 24-hour use. However, shortly after its market launch, it became clear that the range of potential customers extended far beyond this field of application. And very quickly, mr. 24 also proved its worth in the usual upmarket office environment.
Die Historie von Arbeit und Kaffee

From coffee houses to work cafés: coffee and work through the ages

The close connection between coffee and work has deep cultural roots that go back to the 18th century, when coffee houses became important places for intellectual exchange and business activities. This relationship continued to develop with the emergence of modern office culture, making the coffee break an integral part of the working day. Particularly in the early twentieth century, with the introduction of the eight-hour workday, coffee gained significantly in importance as an energy source and social ritual.

The future of workplaces: Introducing hybrid common spaces

Hybrid working: Flexibility, well-being and productivity.

The modern working world is undergoing profound change. Traditional working models, where the office was considered the central place of productivity, are increasingly giving way to hybrid concepts that make the transition between professional and private areas more fluid. Flexibility, well-being and the promotion of productivity are at the heart of this new work culture. But how exactly are hybrid working models affecting our lives, and what role can an office café play in sustainably promoting employee wellbeing and corporate culture?

Hybrid configurations: spaces and worksettings in the modern office

Ductile spaces: the new generation of offices

In order for workplaces to adapt to the current and future changes of hybrid work, welcoming spaces that promote comfort, flexibility and a sense of community are required. To support this change, space models have been developed that enable flexible management of the four C's (collaboration, communication, concentration, contemplation) and promote the concept of a welcoming "hybrid office".

6 tips on what to look out for when desk sharing

These day, we are used to sharing our cars (car sharing) and our flats (e.g. Airbnb).
